Caliper areas that should be bare metal

[Donald H.]

I'm help a friend with some work on his 72 LT1. He wants to get it more correct for judging. I have the calipers and they are painted semi-gloss black as they should be, except all the machines surfaces are also painted. I am in the process of removing the paint from the machined surfaces.

Does anyone here have pictures of a correct caliper? It would be really helpful to see pictures (top, bottom, front and back sides) of a correct caliper that will meet JG requirements.

Thanks,

Don

Hi Don
try this... Two half circle areas, and two T shape areas on each caliper half. And the very top where the two halves meet.

Also the machine area where the brake line attaches to the rear calipers.
